As an actor, what I'm finding is that I really like the extremes. I think that's really fun to play with.

I like to do yoga, Pilates, dance, and things like that.

And I never thought about how the lights don't go out, so you never really rest, in that way. I never really thought about the intensity of being watched, all the time. Those are some things that I didn't know about prison.

I had a hard time on TV, the last time on television, so I wasn't sure that I wanted to do that again. But, I really am a big fan of Jenji and I knew this is her next thing, so I read it. And once I read the script, I was really, really impressed that there was a woman who was the centerpiece of her own story, and that she was in the center of her own narrative.

So often, we're expected to maintain some sort of standard - that won't get you where you need to go.

There's always that jumping off place when you're doing a sex scene when you can tell the crew's like, 'OK, it's comin'. At this point, it's actually not a big deal.

I'm not very cool. I have a really hard time meeting people and stuff.
